Abstract :Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the importance of socio-demographic risk factors such as age, gender, residence, insurance status and season that are significant for asthma-cardiovascular disease diagnoses.

Seasonal patterns and odds ratios were considered together with two facts: Turkish Statistical Institute Air Quality Reports, that showing short term toxicity of particular materials PM10 in the air, and first step early warning threshold values of Konya province, were observed to be over the threshold between the observed dates. Cardiovascular diseases were second by 17,23 % as per diagnosis in Konya province as reported by the Ministry of Health. Results: The results demonstrated that the parameters of logistic models of asthma and cardiovascular diseases were statistically significant pKeywords : asthma, cardiovascular diseases, air pollution, logistic regression
